Busy Morning

I'm exhausted. Yet I haven't left the house, haven't set foot on the outside world. The outside world that allowed all the snow to melt. Yes, my body aches, but they're good aches. Today I started my exercise routine. It needs a little work, but overall I like it. First I warm up with various stretches, then I run on our elliptical for the duration of one half hour show, then, and this is what needs changing, I do some push ups (I can only to if from the knees :/) and crunches, bicycle crunches, and. That's it. It needs working on because after jogging so long I'm already really shaky. So maybe after running I'll do yoga or something, then cool down. Why am I doing this? Because when I write I sit at the computer and sitting all day is bad for you. So I exercise so I don't feel bad about writing. It's good for the body, and sitting here I feel refreshed. Although the might be because I took a shower. Can you believe this, while I was taking my shower I forgot if I'd shampooed my hair. I still don't know, so I might have done it twice. Another thing, because of my unruly hair I used a lot of conditioner, so I'm out again.

So silly me, I started reading another book when i'm about to get Divergent. That needs to take priority because I won't be able to renew it. But the book I started is The Queens Captive. It's a novel about Elizabeth I during her half sister, Mary's reign. I know that no one knows exactly what it was like, but I like to look for novels about it. So far I love it, and I've noticed something in the authors writing style that I truly adore. It something I dearly lack in my writing. See the book is on medium size and the first chapter is five pages. In five pages Elizabeth was escorted from one of the palaces, taken along the Thames, and into The Tower. Seriously, it was so good, I got the most vivid picture in my mind. The author had many writing blanks and it was incredible. The point is I would have had all that happen in a few paragraphs. So while I need to maintain my own writing style I want to learn from her writings. So I will learn history and how to write from reading this book. Talk about hitting two birds with one stone. Another thing, I usually read fast. Well, I always read fast, and talk fast, and think fast. So when reading this I was surprised at how solemn and slow it felt. All in a good way, but the point is I felt almost sad as Elizabeth clutched her seat as she sailed down the Thames, in the midst of a storm. That is what I aspire to do. This makes me excited because this books is the third, the other two are about royals as well. The second, I'm guessing, is about Mary I. The first, well, I just don't know. I had thought it would be someone in the Tudors, but based on the title and mini description thing, I'm not so sure.

Oh joy, look at those paragraphs, just look at them! They're so big. I love it! It makes me dance inside, I don't know why. A strange writers quirk I suppose. You know what? I lack variation in my descriptive words. Ha, see that? I'm practicing, even as you read, on using different words. Like instead of, love, I could say adore, as I did in the large paragraph above. It's those little things that can really make a novel shine, so I want to polish up the prologue of True Hero! Then again, maybe not. If I continued to dwell on past writings I'll never finish the book. On second thought, no. That document is closed off, from now on it's forward until I reach the last chapter. Until the story is complete. I mean, the only reason I'm editing it because I'm not exactly sure how to make it move on. Then again, yes I sorta do. I will only say the some of what I have written will be drastically changed because a phrase gave me inspiration, "When you lose someone is the moment you figure out you love them." I'm thinking a friend kind of love, not a relation ship kind. I would do a sisterly love, that would be best, but frankly that doesn't fit with the plot. That quote, said by whom I don't know, just struck me in just the right spot. I figured out something that had been missing. A hole in the plot that had been covered up, to look okay, yet it wasn't. It's coming together in my mind like nothing has before. I can see it in my head, what needs to happen, the heart break, the happy times, the fearful times. All of them, in perfect balance. Now, I just have to do it. That would be where the word comes in. Maybe I should go write now.

So while watching an old show called, The Love Boat, I had sudden inspiration for a future story. What if I wrote a diary styled novel of someones life on a cruise ship? Wouldn't that be interesting? Haha, not a person who makes the rooms, on our cruise that seemed to be all they did. I feel bad for them. But wouldn't that be interesting? Oh yes, I'm going to be getting the info I need to write the novel that used to be my changed NaNo novel but now it's just a nameless novel and my NaNo novel lays dormant among the thousands of documents of Heirana. It collects dust while I try to perceive it's future. Poor thing, it's got potential, but right now I need to pour my all into True Hero. If I don't all momentum could be lost and it too would be hidden among the scrolls, for who knows how long.

So I finished Daughter of Venice and I gotta say, I really, really, like that book. It was just, well. Realistic. Most of the time I dislike books about the rebellious one, the girl who was raised knowing her birthright and what she needed to do, and that if she didn't she'd mess everything up for everyone. But then she'll go and do it anyway, in a period where girls have worn dresses all their life they despise them. They just, ug. But this, this was different. True, she defied , but is such a way. I mean she was caught, in the end I felt guilty of some crime just reading it. She did the right thing, she wasn't selfish. It was so, moving. I mean it just, in a way it's so much and so little. I really don't have anything bad to say about it, I usually don't have anything bad to say about any books. If I don't like it I don't finished it, that's pretty much the end of it. I don't have time to waste reading books I don't like.

Oh my gosh, I just want to compose! I know, I've got everything I need, but I need more. I need to better learn the program, which I'm doing. But I'm impatient, I want to make a song now. Time, that's what I need. Time. I'll figure it out. I want to try and make a theme for Jade, from True Hero. I figured you can learn more about a main character if you pick what instruments their theme would be, what their room would look like, what type of animal would they be? Animals has characteristics, so match them to your character. So far I've just done the instruments Jade would have the most. Chimes, piano, violin, and vocal. All those instruments are delicate and sad, perfect for Jade. Haha, if I gave you her description and you'd read some of what I'd written you'd think I was talking about two different people. But I'm not, Jade is one of a kind, and I need to make her shine.

Well, this post is longer then I thought. In any case, the paper and pen calls, so I'll be outta here. Okay, okay. The computer calls, I don't write by hand, I think I gave a complex explanation on a previous post. But I do like the smell of in from one of the pens I've got. It's such a sweet smell.
